Before I was displaced by one of these cheap-a$$ H1B guys, I know that a lot of these "braceros" would team up in groups of 3 or more so they could afford to rent an apartment in even the cheaper parts of the Bay Area. So, I can imagine how difficult it must be on 1 salary. Not that I give a rat's rear end, mind you.
(And yes, I am and remain bitter about the H1B invasion of the past decade or so)
Yes, I get it. I take that to mean the wifey must go home
